Kohm Yah-mah-nee, a Visitor Center near the Southwest entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park is scheduled to open Fall, 2008.

Lassen Park Foundation’s campaign for the center’s exhibits

Kohm Yah-mah-nee, the long-awaited, year-round Visitor Center for Lassen Volcanic National Park began construction in April of 2007 and will continue through Summer 2008, with an opening planned for Fall 2008. The Lassen Park Foundation's campaign goal of $500,000 has been reached!

Thank you to everyone who has given to this campaign. Donors of $1000 and more will have their name on the donor wall at the new Visitor Center.

A design-build contract was awarded to Slayden Construction Group of Stayton, Oregon in June. The architect is Ward Young of Truckee.

The plans were adapted to a single-story structure of 8,800 square feet and will include interpretive exhibits and displays, an auditorium for Park films and events, a fireplace, an outdoor amphitheater, a bookstore for educational products, a gifts and souvenirs section, a restaurant, restrooms, first-aid services and after-hours orientation displays. The overall budget is $10.8 million.

The orientation film that will be shown continuously at the Center is a major item sponsored exclusively by the Lassen Park Foundation.

National Parks are an important part of our American heritage. You can help us share the richness of Lassen with visitors from around our country and the world. Please join with us in developing this exciting new visitor center that Lassen truly deserves.
